1 FOCUS ON VOCABULARY AND LANGUAGE Three huge controversies have sparked recent debate in and beyond psychology. The topic of intelligence (along with gender differences and the nature of repressed, recovered, and false memories) has provoked emotionally charged discussions (sparked debate) not only within psychology but in the larger community as well. It identifies a variety of mental gifts. And it concludes that the recipe for high achievement blends talent and grit. This chapter attempts to answer questions such as: What is intelligence? How is it assessed? Where does it come from? and so on. The chapter also notes that there are many cognitive aptitudes (mental gifts) and that the formula for excellence (the recipe for high achievement) combines hard work (grit) with natural endowments (talent). Those who become highly successful may be intelligent but they also tend to be diligent, careful, and thorough (conscientious), have important social relationships (are well-connected), and are persistent, resolute, and vigorous (are doggedly energetic). What Is Intelligence? Is Intelligence One General Ability or Several Specific Abilities? You may also know a talented artist who is stumped by the simplest math problem... Researchers have used a statistical approach (factor analysis) to identify groups of test items that measure a common ability. So, someone who has a group, or cluster, of abilities in one area may be very puzzled by and completely unable to solve (stumped by) a relatively simple problem in a different area. Spearman argued that there was a common factor (general intelligence, or g) underlying particular abilities. And consider people with savant syndrome, who often score low on intelligence tests but have an island of brilliance (Treffert & Wallace, 2002). Some people are intellectually disabled in almost every aspect of their lives, with the exception of one very specific ability (an island of brilliance) in which they are extraordinarily gifted. Despite having very poor language skills and other cognitive dysfunctions, they may be capable of outstanding performance in such areas as computation, memory for music heard only once, or drawing (savant syndrome). Some psychologists argue that this is evidence for the notion of multiple intelligences.... the street-smart adolescent who becomes a crafty executive... Here, Myers is attempting to simplify Howard Gardner s eight intelligences. As an example of one of these intelligences, he describes the teenager who has the ability to survive in urban environments (the street-smart adolescent) and uses that ability to become a clever (crafty) executive.... reading people... People who have good practical managerial intelligence may not score high on academic ability but will be good at motivating people, assigning work to others appropriately, and knowing and understanding peoples needs, desires, and ambitions (they are good at reading people). Other people may demonstrate different types of intelligence (for example, academic, creative, or emotional intelligence). They [Gardner and Sternberg] also agree that the differing varieties of giftedness add spice to life and challenges for education. The expression variety adds spice to life suggests that having many different experiences tends to make life more interesting (adds spice to life). The fact that people differ in their talents and gifts (have varieties of giftedness) not only makes life more interesting but
2 also poses opportunities for teachers to capitalize on the variety of abilities that students possess and to apply multiple intelligence theory in the classroom. Intelligence and Creativity... out of the blue... The solution to a very complex problem can occur to a person unexpectedly and suddenly (out of the blue). This happened to Andrew Wiles when he eventually solved Fermat s last theorem after thinking carefully and deeply (pondering) about the problem for over 30 years. This example illustrates creativity the ability to produce novel and valuable ideas. Even Wiles stood on the shoulders of others and wrestled his problem with the collaboration of a former student. Don t take this sentence literally. Wiles made use of the knowledge and wisdom of colleagues and a former student (he stood on the shoulders of others) when he was working hard and struggling to find the solution to Fermat s theorem (when he wrestled with the problem). Living abroad sets the creative juices flowing. For those who wish to increase (boost) their creative abilities, Myers offers a few suggestions; one is to experience other cultures and ways of thinking. Spending time in a country different from your own (living abroad) can expand the imagination and reveal new ways of thinking (can set the creative juices flowing). Is Intelligence Neurologically Measurable? What in that heart of smarts your brain creates this difference? Reported differences in the brains of geniuses, such as the brains of Lord Byron, Beethoven, and Einstein, have led neuroscientists to wonder if people with different intelligence test scores might differ in the central organ of intelligence (the heart of smarts) the brain. Would people with large cranial capacity be more intelligent than normal (Do people with big brains have big smarts)? This section of the chapter examines research about this issue.... quick-witted... This means being able to rapidly assess a situation or problem and respond appropriately without delay. (Dim-witted means to be slow and unintelligent.) Research shows that there is a positive correlation between intelligence test scores and the speed demonstrated on a number of perceptual and neurological tests. Assessing Intelligence The Origins of Intelligence Testing As heirs to Plato s individualism, people in Western societies have pondered how and why individuals differ in mental ability. Western culture has inherited Plato s individualism. Thus, we are the recipients of (heirs to) his ideas regarding the origins of individual differences in mental ability. We think carefully and deeply about (ponder) how and why these differences occur. The scientific attempt to investigate this phenomenon began seriously (in earnest) more than a century ago. On tests, therefore, a dull child should perform as does a typical younger child, and a bright child as does a typical older child. Children develop intellectually at different rates, so Binet and Simon developed the concept of mental age. Children who performed below the average level of other children the same age (for example, a 10-year-old who performed the same as the average 8- year-old) would be considered slow in development ( dull or backward ). Those who performed
3 above the average (for example, a 10-year-old who scored the same as the average 12-year-old) would be considered developmentally advanced or precocious ( bright ). To raise the capacities of low-scoring children, he recommended mental orthopedics that would help develop their attention span and self-discipline. Binet did not believe that intellectual capacity was wholly genetic. Rather, he believed that intellectual capacity could be improved with remedial work. Once children who were likely to have problems in school were identified, he suggested the use of mental orthopedics. (Orthopedics is concerned with the prevention and cure of physical deformities of bones, joints, and muscles, especially in children; mental orthopedics would apply the same principles to the mind.) In sympathy with eugenics... Terman (1916, pp ) envisioned that the use of intelligence tests would ultimately result in curtailing the reproduction of feeble-mindedness and in the elimination of an enormous amount of crime, pauperism, and industrial inefficiency (p. 7). Terman s belief that mental capacity was inherited and that only the smartest should be allowed to procreate (eugenics) led him to speculate that the use of intelligence tests could result in reducing the number of children who are born with low intelligence (curtailing the reproduction of feeblemindedness). He also believed that the widespread use of intelligence tests would get rid of, or reduce, crime, poverty (pauperism), and low worker productivity (industrial inefficiency). Principles of Test Construction... people s scores tend to form this roughly symmetrical shape. Many variables that we measure (weight, height, intelligence, and so on) approximate a bell-shaped curve (a roughly symmetrical shape, or the normal curve) when plotted on a frequency distribution. On intelligence tests, the average score is 100; most scores (68 percent) are between 85 and 115, so they are gathered together around the average score. If you use an inaccurate tape measure to measure people s heights, your height report would have high reliability (consistency) but low validity. In order for a test to be reliable, the instrument should have consistent results over numerous tests. So, if you use a ruler (tape measure) that is not precise (is inaccurate), it will meet the reliability criterion because it will always give you the same result; it will not, however, have validity. To be valid it should accurately measure what it is supposed to measure. The Dynamics of Intelligence Stability or Change? With this more optimistic view, the myth that intelligence sharply declines with age was laid to rest. The belief in the false notion (myth) that intelligence decreases abruptly with age has been discredited (laid to rest). Cross-sectional studies have suggested that intelligence declines with age (as captured in the phrase you can t teach an old dog new tricks ) but evidence from longitudinal studies has suggested otherwise (as captured in you re never too old to learn ). Myers points out that the answers to the age-and-intelligence questions depend on what we measure (crystallized intelligence or fluid intelligence) and how we assess it.
4 Genetic and Environmental Influences on Intelligence This could lead to those on top believing their intellectual birthright justifies their social positions. If intellectual abilities are predominately a result of genetics and contribute to socioeconomic standing, then those who are most successful (those on top) may assume that their inherited intelligence (intellectual birthright) gives them a right to their social standing (justifies their social positions). The issue of whether nature or nurture determines intelligence generates intense feelings (arouses passions) and has important political ramifications. Environmental Influences Extreme deprivation was bludgeoning native intelligence a finding confirmed by other studies of orphanage-reared children in Romania and elsewhere (Nelson, et al., 2009; van IJzendoorn et al., 2008). In this investigation of a destitute orphanage, Hunt (1982) found that the effect of extreme neglect was severe depression and a general mental and physical passivity (the children became glum lumps ). Their inborn (native) intellectual capacity was taking a severe beating (bludgeoning) due to the physical and emotional neglect. As Myers notes, severe deprivation leaves footprints on the human brain ; that is, it can affect brain development and subsequent cognitive ability. Hunt s intervention program had dramatic results. This points to the strong influence of environment.... there is no environmental recipe for fast-forwarding a normal infant into a genius. Some popular books claim that it is possible to give children a superior intelligence by providing them with an enriched environment. Most experts support the idea that all children should have normal exposure to sights, sounds, and speech. But, beyond that, there is no set formula (environmental recipe) for quickly accelerating (fast-forwarding) a normal infant into an exceptionally brilliant and talented individual (a genius). Group Differences in Intelligence Test Scores In science, as in everyday life, differences, not similarities, excite interest. Men and women are alike in many more ways than they are different. While the similarities vastly outnumber the differences, we pay more attention to the differences (they excite our interest). Also, the differences are more likely to be reported by the media (most people find them more newsworthy). The most reliable male edge appears in spatial ability tests... Men consistently perform better than women on tests of spatial ability (they have an edge). But women do better than men (have an edge) on other types of tests. For example, girls are better spellers, more verbally fluent, and better at locating objects. In addition, they are more sensitive to touch, taste, and color and are better at detecting emotions. (Photo caption) Nature s own morphing. Nature draws no sharp boundaries between races, which blend gradually one into the next around the Earth. There is a debate over whether race is a social construction or a clearly marked (neatly defined) biological category. Myers notes that nature does not create clear distinctions (draws no sharp boundaries) between races. Instead, they merge slowly and continuously (blend gradually or morph) one into the next around the world (nature s own morphing). However, people tend to classify (socially define) themselves as belonging to specific racial categories, which they use for group identification (catchall labels) of physical features, social identity, and nationality.
5 The Question of Bias... feeble-minded... This means to be unintelligent, slow, and intellectually weak. Eastern European immigrants in the early 1900s did not do well on mandatory tests (many were classified as feeble-minded). This was not because they lacked intelligence, but rather because they lacked the cultural experience to answer the questions. In this popular sense, intelligence tests are biased. However, the scientific meaning of bias rests (hinges) on a test s validity and whether it accurately predicts future behavior. In this statistical meaning of the term, intelligence tests are not biased.
